Kerala Blasters have signed Serbian defender Nemanja Lakic-Pesic
Indian Super League (ISL) 2017: The 25-year-old has plied his trade in the Serbian SuperLiga, which is the top-tier football league in the country. He has also played in the third-tier Serbian League Vojvodina and in the second division of Austrian football league.
He is now the third
foreign player to be roped in by Kerala Blasters FC, after bringing back Iain Hume a few
weeks ago and signing midfielder Courage Pekuson less than 24 hours ago. He has
made the switch to the Indian Super League outfit after a one-year stint with
Austrian second division club Kapfenberger SV.
At 192 cms, the
Belgrad-born centre back stands tall amongst the league's defenders. The
left-footed player started his career at FK Donji Srem, a football club that
plays in the third-tier of the Serbian league. After making more than 100
appearances for the club, he secured a move to top-division Serbian club FK
Radnički Niš in 2015.
